We are all up and through 2017 right about now huh? Year after year I make a vision boards and year after year I forget, misplace or neglect my board. All of those amazing ideas and goals found their way to some desolate corner in an unused part of the house. This year, I thought of a compact and practical way to be constantly reminded of my goals and vision. Enter...the VISION WALLET!

This easy DIY helps you create a small, wallet to contain your goals and your debit card! Let’s get started!

Supplies:

2 pieces of cardboard (trimmed to your ideal size, we used 5.5″x4″)

Scrap of fabric (must be larger than your square)

Hot glue gun

Exacto Knife

Velcro

Scraps of felt

11x 17 Card stock

Clippings and fun embellishments for your mini vision board

Step one:Lay your fabric down, back side facing you. Place your square on the fabric. Trim the excess so that there is only about 1.5″ left all around your square. Going one side at a time, place hot glue on the edge of the square and then, fold the fabric in. Repeat on all four sides for both squares.

Step Two: Trim your felt to match the dimensions of your square. 1.5″ down from the top of the felt, use your ruler to mark .25″ inward on both sides of the felt. Then, use the straight edge to draw a line between each mark. Use your Exacto Knife to cut a slit along the line. Repeat for both felt squares. This forms the little pocket where you can keep dollars or your debit card.

Step Three: Trim your 11×17 cardstock the exact width of your wallet. Fold it accordion style. Make sure the creases meet the top and bottom of the wallet dimensions. Add your vision board elements. Adhere your completed accordion to the inside of the cardboard squares with hot glue or your preferred adhesive.

Step Four: Adhere the felt on top of the accordion. Remember to only hot glue the perimeter. If you add glue in the center, you will seal your pocket.

Step Five: Trim one strip of felt as wide as your velcro squares. You can also trim velcro if needed. Adhere two squares on the outside (back) of the wallet. We adhered ours on either side of the (imaginary) center line of the outside of the wallet. Tie a string in the middle of the strap to make it look like a bow!

Step Six: Adhere the matching velcro squares to the ends of the felt strips. **The strips can go vertically or horizontally.

This project is so easy and so much for to create! Take pics and show me what yours looks like when you're done!
